⚠️ Dogs At Play ⚠️
.
Vulric gets to spend time with all sorts of dogs. Most of our locals are sweet toy breeds, but there is nothing like seeing him play with a fit shepherd - and boy is it something when V and @korra_gsd meet up for an early morning romp. They chase each other tirelessly, and offer up an amazing training opportunity by being a distraction from one another. We are now able to recall them during play, which is awesome. Having said that, V still needed to be called 5 times and “think about” coming back from sniffing some grass so we still work on our recall, the little monkey.

Taking a break from the educational posts to get a little personal lol if this isn't your thing feel free to scroll by! I'll post another post tomorrow that's more focused on SD education 😅
Anyway, I started therapy again a few weeks ago. I'm starting to work on working through trauma specifically. I won't go into details, purely so I don't trigger anyone, but I've had a lot of trauma and I've never taken the time to actually work on it. Instead I kind of brush it off and use a lot of humor to cope, or just ignore it flat out. I have a few triggers that set me off and I've been working on identifying those recently. Today we worked on coping skills, and we'll work on "rewiring" my brain with meditation-type exercises. I'm really hoping this makes a difference, although I know it will be really hard. I hate talking about my trauma, at least in a way that's actually serious and not just me making a joke lol
I think this will help me a lot. I've grown a lot in the last few years (I honestly used to be really nasty at times in this community specifically lmao, until I stopped hanging out with toxic people) This is a good step for me, and I'm starting to get more optimistic about it. I expect the road to be difficult, but I think I'll get through it.
We've been incorporating Yagami's tasks into my treatment plan as well, since I tend to use him more than anything else to cope. Tasks like deep pressure therapy, behavior interruptions, dissociation interruption, even just putting his head in my lap so I can fiddle with his ears/fur to calm down are invaluable to me. He changes my life in a lot of ways ❤️ we've gotten into a routine, he knows his job, and he does it without prompting. He's grown into an amazing dog and I'm so thankful to have him with me

Noelle, 1 year old, black GSD, smarter than your honor student, looking for the right fit- my last people didn’t care about me so I’m moving up and moving on. Want me? Apply. I might just like you back. 😘 🐾❤️ On a more serious note:
Remember our stray hold girl? We looked for her owners for a month. And not a single person came forward. So now she is off of stray hold and looking for a FOREVER family!!!! She’s great with all dogs but we prefer her go with a male just so that there will be no rival interaction with other females later down the road. She’s a typical female shepherd so she’s bossy with other dogs. But LOVES to play. And is wicked smart and will test the latches here at the rescue so we have to keep all gates locked. Let’s share her and get her a home for Christmas!! Thank you. #rescuedog#dogsofinstagram#dogrescue#adoptdontshop#petmatchmakerca#germanshepherd#blackgermanshepherd

*Sound On*. Rosie gave me a scare this week because she stopped eating inexplicably and started acting like she didn’t feel well. I was even more alarmed when the vet confirmed she’s lost 9 lbs (10% of her body weight). But, when she gulped down a small dab of Easy Cheese from the vet tech, we all became suspicious.... so we were sent home with a very particular diagnostic test which I’ve administered in this video 🤨
